[st albans fox]

Some intelligent bowling 

took a costly over to set it up but worth it

Not a massive shock stop bowling short and something happens

I'd like to think he's ignored instructions there and just done his own thing!

Had that good spell in the first test, but is Carse actually that good?

Basically the seam version of Bashir 

 

Good timing that, haha. Say it again in a minute 

 

[AjcW]

**** offfffff

[goody2028]

Hahaha get in come on

[AjcW]

Absolute quality this bowling attack, inspired selection

[Tommy Fresh]

Take by Jacks, slagged him and Carse off any other suggestions?

[SickoDicko]

what a grab !

 

[AjcW]

****ing hell that is outstanding!  

[goose2010]

that is special!! 

[RonnieTodger]

What a mental over. Unbelievable grab Jacks

[Aleksz]

How quick it changes 

[leicsmac]

Master plan: drop Carey first ball to lull Smith into a false sense of security, then bam. 

 

Like a charm. 

[Aleksz]

Anyone else think TNT has been better with Prior? marginally

Yeah he's made a big difference, he's got everyone else's energy up.

[leicsmac]

Aussies have scored about 100 runs through the slip area. 

 

Seem to have more than their fair share of luck.

[Voll Blau]

Leicestershire bucket hat in the crowd just then.

[Bert]

Poor from Duckett that 

[CL Fox]

Duckett with two dropped catches and a first baller. The Aussies just dont drop them.

[coolhandfox]

I want to get excited about this fight back, but I can just see a England batting collapse in the second inns even if we hold them to a small lead.

Slightly, but it's still awful. I don't think I've ever sworn at the tele as much as when that woman is commentating, she drives me mad, talking for the sake of it & it's mostly rubbish

[CL Fox]

My head has gone now - catch the ball FFS.

[Ted Maul]

Need at least one more before the close here. 

 

Feel for Smith and Duckett, they've had shocking tests so far- you just can't drop chances like that when the margins are so fine. Hopefully put it right with the bat tomorrow.

[SickoDicko]

Couple of tough ones but you don't win games with 5/6 drops 

[AKCJ]

Am I misremembering how I watched test cricket 20 years ago or did a bowling team generally manage to get through 70 odd overs and still look quite fit and sharp?

 

England look knackered and to be fair Australia did last night too.

 

I get that it’s a hot day but Christ they look unfit.

 

I don’t think they’ve prepared for this series at all well enough.
